Sacrifice| Straw Hat Crew Part 1
How long has it been since youâve been in this cell. A few days, Weeks? Months? You didnât know. Everyday felt so tiring and slow and long.
Your head hurt to much, your body hurt to much everything seemed to hurt to much , slowly your senses managed its way back into you, but it even hurt to just think. You winced at yourself as a cough came from your throat.
Even though your eyes werenât open, you were sure your body was filled with scratches and dried blood and even bruises. You slowly opened your eyes as you painfully looked down.
The bruises were everywhere, through the small crack of moonlight she saw the black and purple bruising, your head against the hard concrete as the chackles around your wrist that made it turn red and swollen, You wanted nothing more than to cry, but it would hurt.
You closed your eyes again just wanting to sleep. This time you donât even open it, not even when you heard shuffling from outside alongside with loud voices and screams of pain as someone was crying.
You didnât open it not because you were scared to see what will happen, but because it will hurt to much to just open them.
âOi, Brat!â You slowly opened your eyes, You sat up and looked behind you.
âMy, My Darling! Itâs already going to be sundown, were you that tired?.â You didnât replay as you looked at him, Staring at him with disgust as he gave you a smile that you just wanted to wipe off him.
âNot much in a talking mood? Thatâs ok.â He said grabbing a stool near him as he sat down on it, even from where you were sitting you could smell the reek of alcohol from him.
He scratched at his unshaven beard and tilted his head to look st you.
âYou know, itâs been a whole month since youâve been here, and we havenât even seen sight of your friends.â He said as he then put his chin on his right hand.
âDo you think⌠theyâve forgotten about you?â He asked. You looked down not replaying as you heard him chuckle.
âMaybe they did! Maybe theyâre glad that your gone! I mean.. isnât it strange? They havenât even came to save you.â He hopped off his chair as he bent down to your level.
âWere you really apart of their crew?â You glared at him for what he said.
âWoah! No need to look at me like!â He said laughing at the end.
âA whole month.â He repeated.
âHow much longer do you think youâll last? I gotta admit some of my patients donât even last a whole week. Maybe my torturing methods are getting old.â
âYou know what I think is the worst?âŚHm? Fine Iâll tell you.â
âSolitation.â He said his voice going serious.
âHow longâŚâ He looked out through the small window in the right side of him.
âDo you think it will take you to break if I left you in this dark, cold cell to die.â You felt your chest tightened at his words, as you tried to focus on your breathing which began to become ragged.
âHumans need companyâŚEven though they donât show it at times, they crave for it, they crave for love and warmth and affection, but they crave for someone elseâs presence even more, they go crazy for it, but maybe you hate me so much youâd prefer to be alone,hm?â He said looking at you, You didnât meet his eye as you stared straight in front of you trying to distract yourself from his words.
âIâd always thought thatâs how death would be likeâŚ.A cold dark cell, unable to move or do anything. Nothing but the sound of your own thoughts until you go a little crazy. Just stuck in your conscious.â He smiled at the end.
âDeath isnât like that at allâŚâ You croaked out.
âLetâs make a bet on thatâŚ.â He said standing up.
âIâll show you what the the legendary Blood Beard can do to break youâŚâ
âI gotta say Iâm suprised youâre not dead yet.â
âI guess you can handle pain very wellâŚâ
âBut Iâm getting bored of waitingâŚIâm a very patient person Y/N, to patient actually, To the point where Iâm done!â He threw a table from besides him as it came in contact with the wall, a loud snap coming from it.
âWeâve discussed this before, but Iâll tell you again⌠I could set you free, You could get out of this dark placeâŚ.if you tell me everything about the straw hats especially, Straw Hat Luffy.â You didnât move from your spot. Back facing the cieling as the taste of blood went down your chin, Your chest going up and down begging you to just rest and breath.
âI wonâtâŚ.I wonât tell you anythingâŚ.â You choked out through blood.
His foot came in contact with your back slamming it harder than a cannonball. You grunted. He repeated the action over and over again. He probably was about 200-300 pounds heavier than you, so this man was basically crushing you.
You grunted as you held back a scream. Your body becoming numb to the pain. He stopped as you heard him panting out of breath.
âTch. Donât think itâs over yet.â He said as he picked you up. Slamming you on the chair beside him as he picked up some rope and tied you to it.
âSo, are you read to talk yet?â He asked. He got angry at you as you didnât respond to his question.
âThe Straw Hats are weak! Who puts crewmates in front of them! Who would sacrifice their own life to just save theirs!!â He screamed at you, you flinched at his words before you coughed and looked up at him.
ââŚThey would.â You said. His eyes widened at you before walking over to a table behind him, You hanged your head down again. Your body aching. Screaming and moaning at you. Telling you that you needed to just stop whatever you were doing because they couldnât handle this anymore. You wanted to listen, but refused to tell this man anything about your friends.
âYou know Y/NâŚ.You have very beautiful eyesâŚWhat will happen if I just ripped them off, Will you scream at me to stop and tell me, or would your loyalty refrain youâŚ. Iâm curious really.â He said as he scraped a sharp metal against the walls. You painted but didnât say anything. You heard as his slow footsteps came over to you until he was in front of you.
His hand quickly went to your face, You hissed in pain as He squished your cheeks together. He softly ran the cold object down your cheek and neck until it reached your collarbone.
âLast chance.â He said.
ââŚâŚ.I wonât tell you anythingâŚ.â You spat out.
âThen your completely useless to me, I donât care if I have to go find another friend of yours and torture them the same way I did to youâŚI gotta admit Iâm impressed by your loyalty, I reminds me of when I was young, but theyâll betray you like they did with me, Theyâll make you trust them, Giving you warmth and a family youâve never had, and then theyâll stab you in the backâŚ..Iâll kill Strawhat Luffy and his entire crew, You going first.â He said smiling.
There was a few moments of silence, and even though your face aches a small smirk crept on your face, you started to chuckle which then turned into a loud laugh. Like you found this the most hilarious thing in the world, and you couldnât stop not even when it felt like someone was stabbing a knife into your cheek because of how much you were laughing or how your throat was just making you wheeze.
âWhat the hell is so funny to you!?â He yelled.
Your laughter slowly died down, as you slowly turned to look up at him, His facial expression had a confused and suprised look. You smirked even wider.
âI donât think you know who my crew is. Well Iâm sure youâll meet them sooner or laterâŚbut are you suprised? Did you expect me to beg? Scream? Cry? Well Iâm notâŚ.Iâm not going to beg my life for someone like you! A low graded pirate! You can insult me all you like but donât even say a single word about them! My crew is going to be the strongest in this whole entire world! And donât even say say youâll kill Luffy! Donât you know who he is? LuffyâŚIs the next Pirate King!â You screamed it at him. He looked at you shocked.
âYou can drown me! Kick me! Punch me! Stab me! But I wonât tell you anything! So go on ahead and kill me right here and now! But donât think for a single second that Iâm scared of someone like you!â You yelled. His face slowly turned to anger as he raised the small metal knife.
âYou piece ofâŚâ He bought the knife down as you kept your stare on him.
ZoroâŚNamiâŚUsoppâŚSanjiâŚChopperâŚRobin..FrankyâŚBrookâŚLuffyâŚ.I think this is the end for meâŚI wanted to spend more time with all of youâŚI wanted to see all your dreams come true, so Iâm sorry to say I probably wonât be thereâŚbut I hope you can all move forwardâŚEverybodyâŚPleaseâŚLive!
And suddenly your whole world went black.
âOi, You mind moving?â You asked the male in front of you.
âEh?â He turned to look at you giving you a clear view of his face. A scar under his left eye was the first thing you saw. A confident smile and a strawhate that made you had to back away so it wouldnât hit you.
âSorry!â He said as he took a few steps behind as you went over and picked the piece of metal, inspecting it. You left a strong stare in your back as you looked to see he was still looking at you.
âUh. Can I help you?â You asked. He didnât respond as he kept looking at you.
âI donât think your from here. Whatâs someone like you doing in a junkyard like this?â You asked.
âIâm looking for my crewmates, but I think I lost them.â He said looking around almost reminding you of a child.
âCrewmates? Are you a pirate?â You asked picking up another piece of metal.
âWell Mr.Pirate. The exit is that way, you can keep going straight and youâll probably get to town, a tip from me donât stop if a merchant is trying to sell you something, trust me.â You added. You thought that would have been the end of the conversation but since you didnât hear any footsteps retreating you looked to see he was staring at you hand.
âHey, Your kinda freaking me out when you donât say anything.â
âWhat are you doing?â He asked, you were taken back as you looked back to you hand to see the piece of metal in your hand.
âIâm collecting old ship parts for an engine iâm building.â You said proudly. âNot to brag or anything but Iâm the best shipwright in town.â You said hands on hips proudly smiling.
âYup! Look at some of these designs!â You took a piece of blue paper from your back pocket unfolding it and then handing it over to him. He took it as he stared at it.
âAmazing isnât it! My grandpa has been teaching me since I was 5! Iâve repaired ships for pirates and even old abondned ones! Not only that but Iâve got ship designs that Iâve been dying to make! Iâm actually in the process of one right now! Itâs gonna be my biggest masterpiece!â Stars in your eyes as you poured your heart out to the stranger in front of you. You looked to see him tilting his head as he looked at you.
âS-Sorry, Did I bore you, I tend to do that a lot.â You said now embarrassed rubbing your neck, suddenly he grinned as he put the paper in half.
âH-Hey! Careful with that!â You said.
âI want you in my crew!â He grinned confidently. His request sounded more like a demand to be honest, You stared at him shocked.
âE-Eh!? As if! Iâm not joining some pirate crew! I donât even know who you are!â
âIâm Luffy. Monkey D Luffy!â He said proudly.
âLuffy? I felt like Iâve heard that somewhere before.â You said his name echoing in your head as you placed a finger to your chin.
âNo.â You said walking around him.
âCâmon! Itâll be fun! Your looking at the future pirate king!â
âPirate King? As if.â
âMy crews really cool. We have a swordsman! His name is Zoro, Heâs pretty good with the sword! And we have a navigator! Nami! And a shooter his name is Usopp!â
âWe have this cool ship! Her name is the Going Merry!â
ââŚ.Listen! You donât even know who I am! So why donât you and your crew go find someone else to bother!â You yelled at him, He blinked before smiling.
âThen whatâs your name?â
âItâs Y/NâŚWait no forget that!â
âDonât call me Y/N! And Iâm not joining your crew!â
âCâmon, If your im my crew then I wonât ever need to worry about Merry, Because I have someone like you!
âYou havenât even see me! How do you know if Iâm even good.â
âI donât!â You were taken aback before smirking.
âLuffy, Iâm not going to join your crew.â He ignored your comment as thought it went one ear and out the other.
âIf you join my crew! Then this whole world wonât stand a chance!l
